FUEL TO IGNITE YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS

(510) 788-0689

I work with self-identified women and non-binary visionary leaders and lawyers of color who desire to Breathe, Grow, Be, Lead and Empower themselves personally, professionally and in their communities. I work with my clients to Breathe by identifying and embracing their presence, to Grow by opening their heart and minds, to Be by courageously living and speaking their truth, and to Lead others by example. In turn, my clients Empower themselves and by doing so, they Empower others to do the same. 

I am so thankful for Christine and the wisdom she has imparted during our coaching sessions. Not only is she knowledgeable about the legal profession and helped guide me to meet my career goals, but she took the time to work with me on underlying personal and emotional matters. Her ability to help build my confidence has been applicable both in my work and personal relationships. I am sincerely grateful for Christine and highly recommend her to those thinking about developing their career or working to meet individual life goals. Christine is very positive, patient, and has a holistic approach to guide you towards meeting your objectives. I have seen and felt actual changes and results because Christine has enabled me to transform my life and I will be forever grateful.

I have had the privilege of working with Christine Start as my life coach.   Working with Christine has been such a powerful and empowering experience. She helped me in multiple ways…when I was unsure of what path to take, her empowering and probing questions helped me come to the answer myself; when I wasn’t able to make progress, she helped me uncover roadblocks that were holding me back and even opened my eyes to roadblocks I did not even realize were there!  I looked forward to each coaching session not because it would be easy but because I knew that I would leave the session feeling so much better after her coaching.  I took a big sigh of relief after each and every session with Christine and left feeling powerful and ready to take on whatever it was I was planning on doing with enthusiasm.  I cannot put into words how positively impactful working with Christine has been.  I’m on an amazing journey, & I am grateful to Christine for helping me along my way.

Most sincerely,

Carrie Wilson

 

I've had the pleasure of having Christine Start as my life coach and mentor for the last three years. She has helped me overcome a significant amount of stress by opening my eyes to the many possibilities that are out there. Her thought-provoking questions empowers me to make rational decisions rather than acting on emotions. As a result, I have gained confidence in myself to achieve seemingly unattainable goals. For example, as a first-generation Filipino woman and the first in my family to go to law school, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Not only has Christine given me guidance on how to balance law school with networking events, finances, marriage, family, and friends but she has also motivated me to be goal-oriented and driven despite the hurdles in my life. Since I have been working with her, I became a happier and well-rounded person. Christine is a great listener and cares deeply about the people she works with. She is warm, welcoming, understanding, positive, and non-judgmental. Our life coach sessions always alleviate my anxieties, and I come out feeling stronger than ever. No words can really describe how grateful I am to have Christine as my life coach and mentor.
